Nine Sunderland classroom heroes from the archives as we celebrate World Teacher Day

Don’t we all think the world of them? Now comes your chance to show your appreciation of teachers.

It was World Teachers Day on October 5 and the special day has been celebrated since 1994.

We want to pay tribute to the school staff who have done Sunderland and East Durham proud over the years.

There are archive photos from Southmoor, Hudson Road, Valley Road, Shiney Row and Grange Park schools.

Take a look.
